DESCRIPTION:
5 Track EP OF Nu-Disco & Deep House - Hans Peeman seems to be using the alternative New Franklin Theory alias to deliver music that combines dusty, dreamy deep house tropes with tons of original boogie and electrofunk instrumentation.
As this second New Franklin Theory 12" proves, it's a winning formula. The majority of the five tracks are propelled forwards by deep house beats and squelchy synth basslines, with Peeman altering the levels of disco and boogie instrumentation atop. For starters, check the bustling beats, rubbery synth-bass, jazz-funk flourishes and incessant energy of "Afterburner", the wonderfully deep and dusty shuffle of "In Orbit", and the pleasingly loose, tropical-tinged beats, spine-tingling deep house chords and loved-up vocal samples of killer EP closer "The Holtzman Effect".
New Franklin Theory returns to Outplay with a very personal project. Five carefully produced songs in the form of a mini-album of sorts, which showcases his journey into more melodic synth heavy work. Starting off, 'Andromeda Beach' eases you into the spacey atmosphere of the record with dreamy rhodes supported by his distinctive percussion and bass work.
Following, 'Homeward' introduces melancholic synth lines grounded by an infectious bass line for a Balearic inspired feel. 'Afterburner' ups the tempo with warm arpeggiated Juno sounds and saxy disco samples, which will remind you of his previous work. Space-funk-synth-boogie, that's what comes to mind when listening to 'In Orbit'. Instant groove with a solid beat interspersed with brief vocal samples and dreamy rhodes chords. As the closer, 'The Holtzman Effect' (award for 2018's most nerdy song title, look it up) sets you off floating away on warm chords and bass together with characteristic space bleeps.

There are at least two people who are using "Junktion" alias.
1) "Junktion" became music in 2001, when Danish music-enthusiast and bass-player Steven Pedersen became so influenced by electronic artists like Squarepusher and Aphex Twin, that he made a go on a musical project following those paths. Though never released, his first album "Press Repeat to Continue" gained some respect in the underground internet community of IDM-lovers. Pedersen has released several web-albums and web-ep's, but has not been signed (though he has been offered several contracts). He is also known under the artist-names "Evensteven", "Sean Junk" and "Clean Plate".
2) There's also a Cologne (Köln) based, DJ called Junktion. (Dub/Rhythm&Bass) http://www.junktion.de
3) House music producer Hans Peeman, half of the Fouk duo and co-founder of OUTPLAY.
